evaluate the % difference between a previous and a new result in matlab

To evaluate the percentage difference between a previous and a new result in matlab, you can use the following formula:

main.m
percent_diff = abs((new_result - prev_result) / prev_result) * 100;

where new_result is the new result and prev_result is the previous result. The abs function is used to take the absolute value of the percentage difference.

Here's an example code:

main.m
prev_result = 50;
new_result = 75;

percent_diff = abs((new_result - prev_result) / prev_result) * 100;

disp(percent_diff); % Output: 50

In this example, the previous result is 50 and the new result is 75. The percentage difference between these two values is calculated to be 50.
